Richarlison makes Chelsea transfer stance clear in robust Twitter response to latest rumours

Richarlison has dismissed claims that he's to leave Everton this summer for one of Chelsea, Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

Thomas Tuchel faces big decisions over several of his attacking players at Chelsea this season. Romelu Lukaku could leave Chelsea this summer and has ben heavily linked with a return to Inter Milan, from whom the Blues signed the Belgian for a club record £97.5million less than 12 months ago.

Tuchel is understood to be willing to let Lukaku depart but Chelsea will not be prepared to do the striker any favours and it will be on Inter to offer a sizeable loan fee in order for the 29-year-old to get his wish.

Although it's unlikely that all three will leave, there are still question marks over the futures of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic - none of whom nailed down a regular starting spot under Tuchel last season. Nevertheless, whilst there's interest from across Europe in the trio, nothing has been put to Chelsea in terms of an offer as yet.

One player that could arrive in west London is Ousmane Dembele, who will be available on a free transfer this summer as his Barcelona contract expires at the end of this month. football.london understands talks have been held with the France international but no deal has been agreed upon as yet. PSG also remain a threat to the Blues' chances as their interest remains.

Another name who's been linked though is Richarlison. A report from The Sun has claimed that the Brazilian wants to leave Everton this summer, with Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG reportedly his preferred destinations.

However, Richarlison has since dismissed the report as he took to Twitter to say: “Crazy is who trusts these sources.” The 25-year-old is clearly unhappy about rumours being spread about him, but it doesn’t mean he won’t be leaving the club in the summer.

Whether he does move on remains to be seen, but for now at least, it seems as though he's committed to Everton, who will be looking to bounce back from a really poor 2021/22 Premier League campaign that almost saw them relegated to the Championship.
